Seeing that Cao Cao finally made up his mind.
Cao Ang also breathed a sigh of relief.
The tense spirit finally relaxed, and the stone hanging in my heart finally fell to the ground.
Cao Ang was very satisfied with today's persuasion. After all, the basic purpose was achieved, and it also facilitated another thing.
The basic purpose is to make his father give up assassinating Dong Zhuo. This is extremely dangerous and will destroy the overall layout and erase all the results of previous efforts.
By the way, he also successfully induced Cao Cao to want to leave Luoyang by explaining that there would be a coalition army to attack Dong Zhuo in the future.
As long as the father and son can successfully evacuate from Luoyang, it can be said that the sea is vast and the fish can leap, and the sky is high and the birds can fly.
Of course, the smooth evacuation here refers to taking away all the things that can be taken away, including money, troops, even the maids and servants of the house, as long as they are willing to go with them, they will be packed and taken away.
For Cao Ang personally, what he needs to take away are the people in the palace and the jade seal that he has not thought of fishing for yet.
…
While Cao Ang was thinking secretly in his heart.
He suddenly noticed that Cao Cao was adjusting his clothes and straightening his crown, as if he was getting ready to go out.
He couldn't help but asked with some confusion: "Father, are you planning to go to the military camp to have a look?"
Cao Cao shook his head.
He took out the seven-star sword from Wang Yun's house, gestured to Cao Ang, and then said.
"Since I have given up on assassinating Dong Zhuo, I have no choice but to return this dagger to Wang Situ. Firstly, it is not good to keep it in my hands. Secondly, it belongs to Wang Situ, so naturally it should be returned to him."
As Cao Cao said this, he was about to put away the dagger again, but Cao Ang had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly snatched the seven-star sword from Cao Cao's hand.
"You can't do it, you can't do it. This thing must never be returned to Wang Situ!"
Seeing Cao Ang's rapid movements.
Cao Cao immediately widened his eyes and looked at his son in surprise.
"Ang'er, do we also want to swallow this thing?"
"This...isn't this appropriate!"
"This is a heirloom treasure of Wang Situ's family. If it weren't for the purpose of assassinating this thief Dong Zhuo, he would never give it to me. Since it is no longer needed, it would be better to give it back."
As he spoke, Cao Cao couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Wang Situ was really unlucky for eight lifetimes, and was targeted by Ang'er. Looking at this attitude, he would not give up until he lost his hair.
Last time, I got an official position from Wang Situ, and by the way, I also tricked Diao Chan into becoming my concubine.
As a result, he wanted to steal someone else's sword again this time.
The key is that nothing was done as promised.
It was said that an alliance with Wang Yun would help him at a critical moment, but now both father and son are planning to leave Luoyang City, and they have formed a ghost alliance.
This time he agreed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but decided to give up after some discussion.
Anyway, nothing is done and nothing is left behind.
It is no longer as simple as eating two bowls of noodles for one price, but eating three bowls of noodles without spending any money at all!
My son has a thick face and a dark heart, and his skills have surpassed that of his father!
…
I saw a look of disbelief on Cao Cao's face. Cao Ang quickly explained.
"Father has really wronged me!"
"I, Cao Zixiu, am an upright person. Am I the kind of person who steals other people's things and never returns them?"
"The reason why I can't return this sword to Wang Situ is actually because of other considerations, not because of greed in my heart."
The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched twice.
Why does he sound so disbelieving?
Facing his father's doubts, Cao Ang did not need to explain at all and only used one killer move.
While playing with the seven-star sword in his hand, he said in a leisurely tone: "My father accepted the assassination mission, but gave up halfway. In the eyes of others, he was shrinking from the battle, greedy for life and afraid of death."
"Wang Situ and the courtiers who discussed this matter in his residence will not know the plans and concerns of our father and son. They will only think that you are not good enough."
"I don't want to say anything else. I'm afraid that your reputation will be ruined by then, and your reputation as a loyal and patriotic man of the Han Dynasty will be ruined."
Cao Cao: "!!!"
In an instant, Cao Cao's eyes widened and he fell into a state of horror.
"Whoosh!"
Cao Cao flashed to Cao Ang's side and quickly pressed Cao Ang's palm with his own hands, thus holding the Seven-Star Sword firmly in his hand.
"My son's words make sense!"
"This thing must never be returned to Wang Situ. It should be handed over to Ang'er for safekeeping first."
"When we kill Thief Dong in the future, we will tell you the truth. I believe Wang Situ will understand the painstaking efforts of our father and son."
After Cao Ang put the seven-star sword into his arms with a smile, Cao Cao loosened his tight grip.
I couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on my forehead with my sleeves, feeling panicked.
Thanks to my son for reminding me!
Otherwise, today's operation would be considered sparse.
Why are you thinking about returning the Seven-Star Sword to Wang Situ?
Will that old fox-like figure let this matter go so easily? Maybe as soon as he left his mansion, he would take the seven-star sword and proclaim that he was greedy for life and fearful of death, and that he was not a loyal member of the Han Dynasty.
It would be more uncomfortable than killing Cao Cao if he was shouldered with such a scapegoat.
All the things he had done before, including taking over the task of assassinating Dong Zhuo today, were naturally for his own sake, and also for the sake of his fame.
If your reputation is tarnished just because of such an incident, then your efforts in the first half of your life will basically be in vain.
This is absolutely impossible!
…
After the shock has just subsided.
Cao Cao pulled on his clothes, exuding heat, and began to think about it with a little worry.
"Ang'er, do you think that if I don't assassinate him or inform Wang Situ of the truth, will it cause Wang Situ to be unclear about the current situation and harm him?"
Cao Ang waved his hand indifferently.
"Don't worry about this matter. I will handle everything from beginning to end and ensure that the rest of Luoyang City is peaceful."
"It won't harm your reputation of unrivaled loyalty, and it won't put Wang Situ and other conspirators in jail."
…
After leaving the front hall.
As Cao Ang walked back to his small courtyard, he couldn't help but take out the seven-star sword again and look at the afternoon sunlight carefully.
The seven star-shaped holes reflected a golden glow under the sunlight, and the sharp blade was still cold and cold even under the warm sun.
This treasure is really good!
The first time Cao Ang saw this seven-star sword, he had already decided not to return it to Wang Yun.
Wang Situ is old and his body is weak. What if one day he accidentally falls and is stabbed to death by the seven-star sword?
It would be better to keep such a dangerous weapon for him yourself.
As for the reasons he told his father, they were all lies.
Cao Ang just really wanted this dagger.
…
